- Prepare a cleaning solution: Mix a small amount of mild soap (e.g., dish soap) with warm water.
- Clean the upper: Dip a soft cloth or sponge into the solution and gently wipe down the upper material. Avoid saturating the fabric.
- Clean the sole: Use the brush and solution to scrub the outsole and midsole.
- Rinse: Wipe off soap residue with a clean, damp cloth. Do not submerge the shoes in water.
- Air dry: Stuff the shoes with paper towels or newspaper to absorb moisture and help retain their shape. Allow them to air dry at room temperature, away from direct sunlight or heat sources.
